It's apparent water rates are going up all over the North Okanagan.
North Okanagan Regional District chairman Herman Halvorson says Grindrod and Mable Lake water will be going to a hearing over theirs on February 4th. "They can go over the rates and see if they can find a way to reduce these rates. The rates have gone up substantially from $226 a year, to $450 a year for residential use." Halvorson says they're also facing a parcel tax of 861 dollars to pay down the water plant with 7 years left.The Gunther-Ellison district, to the west of Enderby has a parcel tax of $1,331 dollars, plus a residential user rate going from $251 to $1,582 a year, something the residents have agreed to.
